Chapter 99 Ranking System
It was quite late, and many of the students had already gone to class. As for the reason why Zen decided to go late? Pretty simple. It was due to the fact that whenever he goes out, he always garners everyone\'s attention.
Usually, some would find it pleasurable to be recognized and held esteemed by people, but Zen finds it displeasing.
\'Annoying\' he would say whenever he fell into such situations.
Right now, the entire vicinity is clear, and not many people are around. There were some students who were also running around seemingly late for class, like him. The difference was that Zen took his time as he walked towards his class room.
Upon entering the A class room, Zen instantly recognized most of the students inside.
There were about twenty students this time, all in A class.
Edward and Crystal were seated together on the back left side of the room, with Edward sitting right next to a window.
Naturally, Daphne, Celestia, and Fiona sat together with the elven twins behind them, who were Chloe Wynren and Zoe Wynren. All five of them were sitting in the middle of the room.
Anastasia sat by herself as J-Lo, the girl she was always with, was assigned to another class.
Finally, there was someone else who caught Zen\'s eye. This person has the appearance of a giant, about twelve feet tall. A horn sticking out of his forehead, cerulean colored hair, and a physically fit physique He occupied three seats all by himself.
"This... Isn\'t this the dude who\'s one of Edward\'s rivals? His appearance fits the description to that of what I read in the novel." Zen said under his breath, with a slight chuckle escaping from him. "F*ck, this guy is hella tall. I think his name was Vrarock Xulwar." He added while sizing him up.
When Zen entered the room, Crystal had a bitter expression. Fiona already told her what Zen had said, making her feel helpless. Then she looked at her brother beside her, who was looking outside through a window. As if blaming him for the current predicament she was in.
Hawkin, who saw him enter, exclaimed, "Zenryx Raverdieu, you are late! Go take a seat."
"Hey, Zen." Fiona was the first to greet him with a smile on her face. "Sit here," she said, tapping the empty seat beside her.
But Zen ignored her and walked towards the back of the room, finding another empty seat.
Seeing this, Celestia couldn\'t help but chuckle a bit. "Ehh, why is Zen ignoring you? Did something happen?"
"I don\'t know what his problem is." Fiona responded while pouting.
"Maybe you\'ve been bothering too much lately and find it annoying, don\'t you think so?"
Once Zen sat down, he thought of something regarding a certain person, who was Noah Crellon. \'I should probably start investigating this matter with that Warden also. Even though that guy is related to the Doom Order, I suspect he is also related to the unknown enemies lurking in space.\'
\'I\'ll have Marrie deal with the Hunter Association also. I\'ll take over that association and have it as a subsidiary for my organization.\'
With that, he planned to contact his family and mobilize some of Raverdieu\'s forces again to investigate these things after the class finishes.
As they were talking, Hawkin urged them to quiet down. "All right, you all settled down. I\'ll start explaining some of the changes to the academy. For those new here, I\'ll also explain how everything works in Pontiac Academy."
"For starters, instead of going to an expedition to the Twilight Forest to determine the first year rankings. At the end of each month, a competition will be held. The amount of points you will receive each week will also be determined by your rankings."
"First year students that are ranked 3000th to 4000th will be given 2 points each week."
"Students ranked 1000th to 2999th will receive 4 points."
"Ranked from 500th to 999th gets 6 points. 100th to 499th receive 8 points."
"Then the students that are ranked 50th to 99th will be given 10 points, and those ranked 11th to 49th will receive 12 points. Ranks 4th to 10th will get 14 points. Rank 2nd and 3rd will be 15 points."
"Finally, whoever is able to rank 1st out of the five thousand first year students will be given 20 points each week."
"Other than the competition held every month, you could also challenge someone, and you will be able to replace their ranking if you are able to defeat them."
"Challenges will take effect once the first competition that will be held at the end this month is finished."
"This challenge will be held at the battle arena located north west of the academy." Hawkin said as he turned on a holographic screen showing the battle arena.
"This is an augmented reality arena; each and every one of you would also need to wear this, which will suppress your mana or aura when you challenge someone." He added as he took out a wrist band.
"This wrist band is worn to suppress your strength to the same level as the other party you challenged. To remove advantages and keep everything fair."
"This is constructed like this so that injuries among you all will be avoided."
After stating those things, Hawkin then explained the use of points and the areas where they could use the points to train themselves. He also told them the other ways they could earn academy points.
In another class, unexpectedly, J-Lo, Eliza, and Xue were all assigned to the same class.
"You are that Xue girl that\'s always with Zen, right? Nice to meet you. I am Juliet Mevouires, but most people just call me J-Lo." She said as she sat down beside Xue.
"I can\'t believe we are both actually in the same class!"
Seeing someone sit beside her and introduce herself to her, Xue glanced sideways just to see the girl she had on her team during the mock battle. "Xue Shan." She responded by keeping it simple and withdrawing her gaze away from her.
"I\'m glad I got into a class with someone I kno-"
"Please shut up. You are very talkative and noisy." Xue scolded.
"Uhh..."
